Beyonce’ has just removed herself from the lead role of Clint Eastwood’s remake movie, “A Star Is Born.” Sources claim that her schedule was already packed and that without a set start date, the scheduling became too complicated….

Beyonce was set to play the role that Barbra Streisand played in the 1976 version as the promising young performer who falls in love with an older fading star. Studio insiders said that with Beyonce’ now off the project, there has been interest in getting the jazz musician, Esperanza Spaulding, to play the role.

Eastwood has approached a number of top male stars about playing the fading star character, including Leo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Christian Bale, Johnny Depp and, most recently, Bradley Cooper.
